The first part of the secret practice for the University football team yesterday consisted of a short formation drill for the linemen, and blocking practice for the ends. After the elementary work, the second team was called into the Stadium, and in the long scrimmage that followed the University team played a decidedly slow and sluggish game.

Against the substitute linemen the second team showed up well, although it was not able to score. The ends showed improvement, Paine and Thixton getting behind the University line and talking the runner for a loss. O'Hare also played well in the line, breaking through several times and downing the man with the ball.
